Found a few things on BoingBoing again, which is not so uncommon really. A neato article on remix culture at Wired by the one like William Gibson. I like his train of thought, probably because I feel the same way about it. “Who owns the words?” asked a disembodied but very persistent voice throughout much [...]
314 pages of free sci-fi/cyperpunk novel can’ be bad right? At boingboing I read that Richard Kadrey published his latest creative work Blind Shrike as a free downloadable PDF under a Creative Commons license. Sweet! Good to know is that it’s been specially adapted for onscreen reading, which will make plenty of beavers and nature [...]
Yahoo! has just launched a Creative Commons search engine enabling you to search for freely (re)ussable photo’s, music, art, in whatever production you’re up to. Excellent!

I wanted to mention this because I think the idea rocks. Wired Magazine published a CD with tracks from big time artists licensed under Creative Commons licenses. Even though though the tracks themselves hardly interest me it’s cool to see a good idea like CC is getting some good mainstream media coverage this way. By [...]
